WASHINGTON: The killing of a Hindu garment worker in Bangladesh has drawn condemnation from US-based Hindu advocacy groups, who said the incident underscored the vulnerability of religious minorities in the country.
The Hindu American Political Action Committee said the “brutal killing of Dipu Chandra Das” had made clear that the Bangladeshi government was failing to protect Hindus and other religious minorities.
The organization shared statements from four lawmakers who spoke out on the incident. Prominent among them are Congressmen Raja Krishnamoorthi, Ro J. Khanan, Suhas Subramanyam, Shri Thanedar, and New York Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar.
